We’ll be moving West to Los Angeles (probably during the summer) as my wife will likely taking a visiting professorship at the UCLA Anderson School of Management. Once she starts, this will be the fourth business school environment she will have taught at – it will be interesting to take in some of the differences from the sidelines.
If folks have recommendations or insights on general living, good places to eat (e.g, Chinese, Indian), music venues (e.g., jazz or fusion), wine bars, parking, schools, etc., please feel free to share. I haven’t been to LA in 15 to 20 years methinks.
I heard through the grapevine that Crowded House might be auditioning for drummers in LA. As it turns out, my first live performance playing drums was playing their song "Don’t Dream It’s Over" at the high school senior breakfast. Must be a sign for a career change. 🙂
It will be nice to have you back in the same time zone. Sorry to say, all of my suggestions about livability have to do with not being anywhere south of Big Sur…
Oh goody!
Schools:
San Marino school district- excellent.
Restaurants:
– Mandarin Deli in Monterey park on Garvey and Atlantic
– Fogo de Chao (Brazillian)
– Lala’s on Melrose and La Brea (Argentinian food)
– El Taurino’s on Hoover and Olympic
Feel free to e-mail me and I’ll divulge. 8]
Thanks for the welcome and suggestions!
I’m sure you will like the warmer climate…
How about applying some six sigma principles to drumming?
The weather should be nice for sure. Having never lived on a fault line, I will likely need earthquake awareness and training though …
As for applying six sigma principles to drumming, I’m more of a two/three sigma kind of guy. 😉
